Summary

Mechanical Engineering Partner – Surfboard Rack Product Development Project Overview This project involves refining an innovative roof-mounted surfboard rack from a proven proof-of-concept into a functional prototype ready for testing and manufacturing validation. I am seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineering Partner to develop CAD models, design 3D-printed prototype components, evaluate manufacturing methods, and estimate production costs for low-volume manufacturing (100–1,000 units). This is an opportunity to become a long-term engineering partner and help bring a new consumer product to market.
